This would be awful, but: The Phoenix Suns and #6 overall pick
The NBA Draft Lottery is on May 14, and the Phoenix Suns have a 26.0% chance of selecting 6th overall – their highest odds at any draft position. What if this happened?
No Zion Williamson.
No Ja Morant.
No…anybody, really, that has at least a near guaranteed shot at becoming a future star for the Phoenix Suns if they end up being passed by three teams in the Draft Lottery and end up selecting 6th overall.
At least it’s not 7th overall…right?
Yet, even at 6th, to know that three teams behind them (each with lesser odds at drafting in the top-three than the Suns themselves), happened to jump ahead of them, it would be just the worst.
